Top Ten Gifts for Animal Lovers

10-Animal lovers are sure to enjoy and appreciate the chance to sponsor an animal. Best Friends Animal Society is a nonprofit organization that strives to make the world a better place for animals. In order to prevent homeless pets, the Best Friends Society takes animals under their wings and finds others to sponsor the animals so they are no longer homeless. This organization is located in Southwestern Utah and takes in abandoned, abused and neglected companion animals. There are always at least 1,500 animals at the institution. Most animals are found a home eventually, while some make their lives in the shelter. Best Friends has animals available to sponsor through a price of $25. A sponsorship helps care for one animal and the sponsor is then sent a photo and a story. The website also allows immediate adoptions of the pets.

9-Dog lovers will especially appreciate a variety of doggie gifts from BaBarker. Just select the breed of dog and choose from gifts like ornaments, coasters, keychains, note cards, coffee mugs, photos, picture frames, socks, and pretty much anything you can imagine. Dog breeds include, but are not limited to; Dalmatians, Dachshunds, Labs, poodles, Golden Retrievers, Chihauahua, Basset Hounds, Bulldogs, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus, Yorkies and Schnauzers.

8-Kritters in the mailbox offers a variety of products for animals as well. Ice Cream Scoops can be purchased in the form of a cow, penguin or pig. These items are available for $9.75 and can be purchased with PayPal or Visa.

7-Penguin Backpacks are pretty darn adorable and available for $15.95 from Kritters in the Mailbox. These 16 inch bags are great for kids!

6-Animal Nightlights are also a great gift for animal lovers. Children especially, who appreciate a little extra light will appreciate an animal night light. These gifts range from pigs to Polar Bears and there are at least 30 different varieties. My personal favorite is the Ladybug which stands about 5 ½ inches tall and is available for $16.95. If bugs are a little too "uncuddly" for your animal loving friend, try a Kitty Kat nightlight or a cat nightlight combined with a ladybug available for $17.95.
5-For that giraffe lover in your life (and who doesn't know someone that loves giraffes?) consider a pair of giraffe earrings from animal den. There are 5 different pairs of giraffe earrings available ranging from 10-36 dollars. There are also Giraffe necklaces, pins, rings, and keychains. Animal den also includes animal products from a plethora of other animals and wildlife including plush animals, puppets, mugs, mousepads, puzzles, salt & pepper shakers, shirts, socks, and calendars. Animals included are cats, bugs, birds, and marine life.

4-For the fisher man in your life, try giving a gift to let them know you support their hobby. Animal den has rings, t-shirts and magnets that are devoted to fish. There are also several gifts available for particular breeds of fish. For example there are trout coasters, note pads, address labels, key chains, charms, pins, shirts, socks and wind chimes with a fishy theme and there are several other types of fish available.

3-Ask the Vet also has several gift ideas for animal lovers. Horse lovers would enjoy a horse carousal pendant or a Horse illustrated subscription. Horse & Rider is available for $15.90 and is great for horse lovers who are seeking to improve their riding skills. There are also photo coverage of winning horses and consumer advice. This is a monthly magazine that horse lovers will definitely enjoy.

2- Bird Lovers will also appreciate a subscription to a magazine called Bird Times. This magazine is available for only $13.97 and offers 6 issues per year. This magazine includes information on training, health care, feeding, wild bird-watching and breeding.

1-A Dragonfly and Flowers Bankers Desk or Table Lamp is a great gift available for $49.95. This brightly decorative and attractive lamp includes stained glass images of dragonflies and flowers and is very beautiful. It is one of Vickie's Novelties and is currently in stock.

Each of these gifts are sure to make an animal lover almost as happy as if you were to give them an animal itself. Make sure to find out what their favorite animal is and if they would prefer an animal themed gift or a gift for the animal itself. When it comes to children, try to find something that will not only entertain, but also educate, like a subscription to an animal magazine.
